Susitna 3, the video

I'm still too knackered to write up my race report, but I did throw together a quick film of some of the video and images I shot during the race. The music is "July" by Amy Petty. The song was included on the "Ride the Divide" movie soundtrack, which I recently downloaded as part of my playlist for the Susitna 100 to help motivate me by inserting Tour Divide images in my head during some of the more monotonous parts of the race. This song just happened to pop up on my iPod shuffle during my real low point on the afternoon of day two, on the Yentna River. As my friend Danni says, "waterworks ensued," and afterward I started to feel quite a bit better. I think it's a fitting soundtrack for this video. Enjoy!

Just unbelieveable....but having been a follower of your site for a few years now, I seem to be thinking that to myself a LOT.

I love it that you actually take time to stop and take pics (AND vid) during your 'fun'...I carry my camera almost always, but when I get immersed in an event I typically seem to end up with no pics.

Kudos to you both first on SHOWING UP, and then on actually FINISHING this insane event! And also thanks as always for taking us along for the ride (run/walk/slog). It must be great to have Beat alongside...as the saying goes: "Misery loves company". I think you've found a new level of misery. My hat's once again off to you!
